1964 Map of Garber

About this map

Garber and Elkport sit at the confluence where the Volga River meets the Turkey River, anchoring a landscape defined by deep river valleys and limestone outcroppings. This mid-century survey captures a rural Iowa river economy where transportation and settlement patterns are dictated by the winding watercourses of Cox Creek, Wolf Creek, and Honey Creek. The area’s genealogical record is remarkably dense, evidenced by numerous family and parish burial grounds such as Asbury Cem, Musfeldt Cem, and St Michaels Cem near Elkport.
